    Hey guys,

    I can't decide How to setup my tank. So many choices, all I know is that I would like to do something other than Malawis (because I have already had them). What would you do? Feel free to be creative I want options :bigsmile:

    If I had the good fortune to have a 600l tank I would have only one possible plan - fill it with Discus!

    @Environmental bro... Crazy idea but i think it would look INSANE!!!

    Microfish... My personal list would be something like this:
    Mosquito or Exclamation mark rasboras
    Galaxy rasboras (Usually expensive though)
    Threadfin rainbows
    A Blue eye species or 2

    Nice BIG school of each of these... (not sure how many of these that tank would be able to have)

    And with those you will just have to go planted...

    That could just look AWESOME!!! (IMO)

    go for a species or biotope tank.
    that way you can watch & learn the "natural" behavior of the fish you keep
    do a joint project with one of the profs

    give specs L X W X H etc so we get an idea of the setup (? 2m x 55 x 55)

    Some nice ideas already! Keep em coming! Dimensions: 1.8m x .6m x .6m.
    @Ryno What species??
    @OscaCT Awesome fish, too big for my tank
    @PsyXe Considered it but don't really see the draw of discuss... I love watching fish behavior and they don't seem to really do anything!
    @BugMan This would be amazing, just one problem- lighting... I really can't afford lighting for a planted at the moment, so expensive sigh. Ideally I would love a tank like Takashi Amanos, so natural and beautiful.
    @BigFish Fully with you on this one, I just cant decide what species to choose.
